Video: Ayanna Pressley delivered a closing argument ahead of the election
"This is not the time to be cute."
In the final days before the Nov. 3rd election, Democratic Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley joined “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon” to call upon voters to “vote your condition.” Pressley said now is not the time to be cute and urged people to mobilize.
In a conversation about voter suppression, Pressley mentioned to Lemon the recent burning of a ballot box in Boston that led to an arrest of 39-year-old, Worldy Armand.
“You know, what were fire hoses and dogs are today, as what happened in my district, arson at drop boxes, are voter suppression and intimidation with long lines.”
She later continued, “In this moment, every election has consequences, but this election, Don, this is the most consequential, not only in our lifetime, but I believe in our nation’s history. So vote your condition and organize your friends, your family, your coworkers, the people you worship with.”
